Stepping into Xin Cuisine, I was entranced by the oriental yet contemporary interior design. Simple it does look, it is a good place to relax and enjoy the meal. This restaurant serves nouvelle Cantonese cuisine and Hong Kong dim sum.

If you need an exquisite dining experience for private events, then there are 7 Xin Private Rooms to fulfill your needs. Each room is spacious, with cozy dim lights and comfortable sofas.

To celebrate early Chinese New Year,

here comes the Menu of "Longevity" @ RM688++ (10 pax):

#1 Salmon Yee SangPriced individually @ RM68++

Salmon fishes are served everywhere when it comes to Chinese New Year feast, but of course I still enjoy its juiciness here. Along with the varying shades of tartness from pickles, lime juice, and fragrant lime leaves, you can taste the sweetness from this thick plum sauce. For a milder taste of sweetness, I'd opt to pour 3/4 cup of sauce into this textural marvel.

#2 Braised Sea Cucumber, Fresh Scallops and Crab Meat Soup

Even without shark fins, this bowl of braised seafood soup would taste good enough

with the fresh ingredients and non-greasy soup base.

From here you can see the large chunks of scallops, sea cucumbers, crab meat and prawns.
You wouldn't miss any of them in every spoon of the soup.

#3 Crispy Roasted Chicken with Nam Yu Sauce

Some may agree that the chicken drumstick is the best part of the dish because of the fluffy yummy meat. But I'd say the crispy skin of this roasted chicken is the best! It remains hot and crispy even when dipped in Nam Yu Sauce. The sauce, which is also known as Chinese Cheese made of fermented red beancurd works perfect with the chicken if it could be thicker.

#4 Steamed White Patin Thai Style

If you'd love to go adventurous, this sour and spicy sauce would be awesome.
But it veils the original sweetness of the fish itself.

Succulent dried oysters enriches the taste of this dish along with the aromatic oyster sauce.

#6 Deep-fried Prawns served with Sweet Corn and Anchovies

The prawns are fresh with the skin easily peeled off. Its combination with sweet corn and anchovies addes the taste of sweetness into this salty dish.

#7 Special Fried Rice with Vegetables

A non-oily plate of fried rice which I love, and it's neither too dry nor soggy. You may see this fried rice as a common dish but the asparagus and chopped broccoli stalks are used instead of green beans, revealing a different taste for all.

#8Desserts

The sweet delicacy with dried goji berry is served cold, whereas the hot deep-fried spring roll is filled with Nian Gao. From the picture above, you can clearly see which would taste better :P

#9 Warm Soya Bean with Glutinous Dumpling

The glutinous rice balls are filled with sesame paste, which oozes from the skin after the first bite.
And I didn't know that warm soya can actually taste better than the brown sugar soup base.

#10 Varieties of Dim Sum

Ala carte dim sum is only available during lunch. From my visit there, these Hong Kong delicacies are all Halal, and the fluffy Char Siew Bao tastes good even without pork in it.

Thanks to 汤师父 (Chef Thong Pun Foo) for the quality cuisine.

Apart from Longevity, Xin also offers "Auspicious" and "Prosperity" set meals:

This set menu for 10 pax would be a good choice if you love to stay out of the city during this prosperous new year!

Verdict:1. Out of 10 dishes, I love 7 of them.2. The service of the restaurant is exceptionally good.3. They allow take-away if you can't finish the foodstuff, with the remaining food well-packed in separate microwave-safe containers.

Goodness, I just had my dinner yet I am drooling over all the yummy food, esp the Patin Thai style and the desserts. My reunion dinner is almost towards CNY, btw my god family members are Chinese, so I will be among them enjoying the CNY dinner. On our list is "Buddha jumped over the wall" and plenty more.

oh so nice, you started to "lou sang" already.. i actually enjoy doing that, not because of any specific reason but just because it's fun, hahaha.. and i like that photo, so nice the plum sauce is being poured onto the "lou sang"..
